Fourth of July BBQ and Fireworks

After swimming it was time to eat and play with fire. We had quite the assortment of food: hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, pork, every kind of salad, beans, chips, and fruit. Camryn and Allie enjoying their dinner.

The kids bounced around a bit during dinner, here's a group with Travis.

Terra found some girls to eat with.

Our neighbors had fun lighting off 25 of these big fireworks. Tony picked them up in Wyoming a few years ago on a B1G1 sale. Since then they've lived too close to police to dare use them. He pulled them out this year and we enjoyed quite the show. I guess he's got a few left for the 24th since he had to put them away when a cop parked on Village.

We could see the fireworks in Tooele and at the Deseret Peak Complex, but they were pretty small in the sky. It just wasn't the same without the boom. We had plenty of our own

and in our neighborhood to keep us entertained. Dancing in the light of the fireworks.

Sparklers! I hate these. I loved them as a kid, but now I cringe every time they are pulled out. This year Camryn grabbed the end and burned her fingers and Kayla accidentally poked Jordyn in the back of the head and sizzled some hair and skin.

It was a great weekend. We had fun getting to see everybody.
